Bextra

Bextra linked to serious side effects

Bextra (Valdecoxib), an anti-inflammatory drug, was marketed by G.D. Searle & Company as a treatment for pain relief. Unfortunately, some people who have used Bextra for arthritis and acute pain management have experienced dangerous side effects, including heart attack, stroke, and fatal skin conditions known as Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis. Others at risk include women who have used Bextra to treat severe menstrual symptoms.

If you or a loved one suffered any Bextra side effects, you may be entitled to compensation. Don’t hesitate to contact an Bextra lawyer in Oklahoma to learn about your rights. Call Hansen Dirani & Associates Law Offices: 877-583-0700.

Bextra is in a class of drugs known as Cox 2 inhibitors, along with Celebrex. These nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are linked to SJS, a condition that includes the following symptoms:

• Skin rash
• Mucosal lesions
• Other symptoms related to hypersensitivity

Bextra lawsuits were filed in 2004, a year before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took Bextra off the market.
